¹¹ He had the camels kneel down near the well^(A) outside the town; it was toward evening, the time the women go out to draw water.^(B)

¹² Then he prayed, “Lord, God of my master Abraham,^(C) make me successful^(D) today, and show kindness^(E) to my master Abraham. ¹³ See, I am standing beside this spring, and the daughters of the townspeople are coming out to draw water.^{(F) 14} May it be that when I say to a young woman, ‘Please let down your jar that I may have a drink,’ and she says, ‘Drink,^(G) and I’ll water your camels too’^(H)—let her be the one you have chosen for your servant Isaac.^(I) By this I will know^(J) that you have shown kindness to my master.”

¹⁶ Now a priest of Midian^(A) had seven daughters, and they came to draw water^(B) and fill the troughs^(C) to water their father’s flock.
